Degustation VINOTTI 2016: huuuuu, dieses Nasenspiel, breit und toll. Am Gaumen kräftig, aristokratisch schwarzen Früchten, Gewürzen und einer verführerischen Süsse. Toll! Tipp – 4 Stunden dekantieren – VINOTTI 95
vinous, Antonio Galloni, 96 Punkte:
The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Effe 55 is a wine of beguiling
beauty. Deep, dark and yet also wonderfully translucent, Gran Selezione
offers so much pedigree, so much character. Black cherry, espresso,
lavender, licorice, menthol, plum and cloves all come alive in the glass. The
Gran Selezione has a bit more mid-palate pliancy, more French oak
influence and more tannic clout overall. It was made from the Settriolo
vineyard and spent 18 months in a combination of French oak tonneaux and cask. Drink 2024-2041
Vom Weingut (im Besitz von Rocca di Castagnoli):
Der Hügel Setriolo gilt seit jeher als einer der für den Weinanbau am besten geeigneten Gebiete von Capraia. Der mittelharte Boden ist reich an Sand- und Kalksteinfragmenten und verleiht den Weinen Tiefe, Geschmack und Eleganz. Das Gebiet ist im Kartenausschnitt 55 dargestellt, daher der Name des Weines.

SENSORY PROFILE Distinct aromas of small red berries including Marasca cherries preserved in alcohol, accompanied by hints of chocolate berries and well-integrated woody notes. It is full-bodied, warm and potent in the mouth with a striking tannic texture that makes the wine very drinkable and elegant. Its good acidity and minerality guarantee a fresh, long finish. The wine has only been stabilized using natural methods and has only undergone very wide filtration; this can lead, especially after long bottle aging, to a natural sediment that does not affect the wine’s sensory profile.
PAIRING Stewed meat, game and mature cheeses.
SERVING TEMPERATURE a serving temperature of 16°C is recommended.
Es sind noch ein paar wenige Flaschen an Lager, Nachbestellung trifft bis September 2022 ein.
